Sonic Fables (Lessons From Aesop) : For Brass Quintet and One Percussion.

Entertaining musical representations of six of Aesop’s famous fables are presented between a Prelude and Postlude. The text of the fables is printed on a preliminary page to the score and may be used as written program notes. Each fable may also by recited by a member of the ensemble or a narrator prior to performing the accompanying movement. Because of the programmatic subject matter and the colorful spirit of the music, Sonic Fables works well with all types of audiences, including those of children. It is frequently used as a feature number by professional ensembles on school programs. The total duration is about 17 minutes; however, the 8 movements may be performed in smaller groupings if so desired by the performers. Grade V-VI.
